Passively Q-switched Tm/Ho composite laser
We explored Q-switching mechanism for the newly proposed Tm/Ho composite laser via developing a hybrid resonator for separating the intra-cavity Tm laser modulated by the saturable absorber (SA). With a Cr:ZnSe SA, successful passively Q-switching process with the maximum average output power of 474...

We explored Q-switching mechanism for the newly proposed Tm/Ho composite laser via developing a hybrid resonator for separating the intra-cavity Tm laser modulated by the saturable absorber (SA).

This work provides an effective way for a direct laser diode (LD) pumped Q-switched Ho laser, which is compact and accessible.
